Revision as of 21:07, 28 March 2009
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks is the second installment of Zelda games for the Nintendo DS, revealed by Satoru Iwata in Game Developer's Conference on March 25, 2009. It uses the same cel-shaded layout and game-play interface as Phantom Hourglass and The Wind Waker. The opening scene of the trailer features Link conducting a train, which takes place of the boat in Phantom Hourglass which most likely coincides with the name of the game (Spirit TRACKS).
There have been some debate whether the game would work only on the DSi or all Nintendo DS's. However Nintendo.com has confirmed that Spirit Tracks will be playable on all installments of the Nintendo DS, including the original DS and the DS Lite.[1]
Theoretical Connection & Explanation
While it may be too early to begin theorizing, evidence from the trailer has sparked connections to Zelda games of old. Iwata stated that, he wants to please long-time, loyal fans to the company and to the Zelda franchise.[2] With this in mind, he may very well be referring to those fans since the very first days of Zelda, those who were the first to experience The Legend of Zelda and Adventure of Link. With that being said, it is easy to assume that the land seen in the trailer for Spirit Tracks may a) be Hyrule (due to the presence of what is probably Hyrule Castle), and b) be the Hyrule chronicled in the aforementioned titles, seeing as how there is a shoreline, and hence, an ocean connected to the Hyrules of these three games. Plus, due to the fact that The Legend of Zelda and Adventure of Link are based the furthest down the line chronologically, the advanced technology seen thus far in the steam-powered train (which in relation to our world, came after the steamboat) would further signify that this game could very well be the third title in the (LoZ/AoL) arc.
